XSK wakeup function triggers NAPI by posting a NOP WQE to a special XSK
ICOSQ. When the application floods the driver with wakeup requests by
calling sendto() in a certain pattern that ends up in mlx5e_trigger_irq,
the XSK ICOSQ may overflow.
Multiple NOPs are not required and won't accelerate the process, so
avoid posting a second NOP if there is one already on the way. This way
we also avoid increasing the queue size (which might not help anyway).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
